One dirty habit has left plenty of people dumbfounded beyond bounds.
Teenagers are known for using marijuana and might be at a greater risk of permanent brain damage later in life, as shared by a new study. Shocking reports spoke about how 18 million Americans are now reporting the use of marijuana daily or every single day, and use is on the rise.

About one in seven of those users are teens whose brains are still undergoing rapid changes in areas responsible for judgment, memory, and decision-making. Now, the biggest ever study of American teens has found that regular use of cannabis caused a restriction to vital growth in memory, attention, and even language and processing speeds with time, despite normal development when they were younger.

Experts claim the culprit is THS, which is a psychoactive ingredient inside Marijuana. This was related to worse memory in teens when compared to CBD, which isn't intoxicating.
